I removed the SD plugin and selected a few channels and they loaded fine. I reinstalled SD and started selecting channels tentatively by letter.... A, B, C, everytthing was going well until I got to D!! Nothing wants to load now. How weird is this?

I don't know the internals of the plugin, but there are very few restrictions on the data at Schedules Direct, other than each request for data has to be fewer than 5000 entries. Once you've synced the initial data and built a local cache (in 5K chunks), there are typically only a few hundred programs per update that have changed so after the initial "slow" load, subsequent data pulls are much faster because the grabber should only be downloading new / updated programs and schedules.

As I said previously rkulagow, with constant updating - 10 channels then 12, then 15 right up to a full house for 2 days then 3 etc building up to 2 weeks (I like to look ahead) - all Channels now appear to be loaded and up to date. It appears I may have been asking too much of the data provider.

I hope I can now say (without fear of prompting a crash or some other Gremlin) thank you all for putting up with me and helping me get TV-B up and running again.
